MCTC RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM DPL-AES FOR CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Dayton Power and Light-AES has committed $26,000 to MCTC for the formation of
a Center for Career Development and Experiential Learning on the Maysville Campus.
In essence, the Center will connect talented individuals with open positions. While
many folks are struggling to find work, employers are begging for skilled talent to
fill their open positions and move their businesses forward.

People entering the Center will have access to many unique services that will assist
with talent matching to open jobs, stated MCTCs Robert Boone. Services such as career
counseling; soft skills development (workplace communication, time management, etc.);
career and personality assessments; mentoring; workshops on topics such as job searching,
resume development and interviewing skills; job fairs; on-site employer interviews;
and experiential learning opportunities such as co-ops, internships and apprenticeships
will be available through the Center.

DPamp;L-AES agreed that such a need in the community exists and wanted to assist with
the effort. We are extremely fortunate to receive such a generous contribution from
DPamp;L-AES, stated Boone. Their investment will enable our college to more comprehensively
connect our students and alumni to the workforce through career development programming
and real-world experiences. This Center, which is the first of its kind in the state,
will be another important tool to help our region develop and retain the workforce
that is needed for economic growth. The donation will assist the Center with assessments,
marketing the center, furniture, part-time staffing for extended operating hours,
scholarships and technology.

MCTC has designated an entire office suite on the upper level of the Calvert building
as the location for the Center, which should be fully operational by January 1, 2016.
Projected operating hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 8:00 a.m. 4:30 p.m.
and Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. MCTC plans to eventually offer these
services on all four of its campuses.
